Rapture Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 My bike is in complete bits at the moment so i cant really check myself but .... Im thinking of getting a rear lowering link, but if i use it on the lowest setting will the curved shock link fowl on my rear skid/armor plate?

trickedcarbine Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Are you wanting to run a link on trails and stuff? That's not a good idea. Not only will it shove the wish bone down where it'll get beat up, but it really won't fit most skid plates except the ones that only cover the rotor and sprocket. You could try the warrior link wich is supposed to take the bike down a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yea I want to ride dirt tracks etc. I won't be jumping or anything. I want to ride a little higher than a flattrack set up. Im guessing a r6 shock will be to hard. Is there any donor shocks other quads I can run that will lower it like 4"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just switch to a Warrior link. It's 1 1/4 inches longer than the Banshee link. It will lower it alot and it's EASY to switch back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 If the warrior link lowers it as much as the lowering bar will it still not have the same problem hitting the skid plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 The skid plate is mounted to the rear part of your swingarm. THAT height is dictated by your axle. You can lower your quad, but the axle won't get lower unless the tires do. The only issue you need to worry about is the DOGBONE acting like a farm implement. The lowering links just risk turning your Banshee dogbone into a earth plow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ah ok. I wasn't sure if the dog bone would miss the skid plate or not, but I guess you've just cleared that up. Do you know how much the warrior link lowers the rear end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
